I believe there needs to be a NULL check here or absolute paths and
virAsprintf errors will segfault. I can patch if you don't beat me to
it.
How so? absolutePath was initialized as NULL; is only ever set to
non-null by a successful virAsprintf, and VIR_FREE works correctly
(no-op) on a NULL argument. Put another way, are you missing that
VIR_FREE already has an embedded NULL check?
